Item 2. Code of Ethics.
Homestead Funds, Inc. has adopted a Senior Officer Code of Ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, which applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Senior Officer Code of Ethics is available on Homestead Funds, Inc.’s website at www.homesteadfunds.com or without charge, upon request, by calling the Chief Compliance Officer at 1-800-258-3030. During the period covered by this report, no substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to the Senior Officer Code of Ethics.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Board of Directors of Homestead Funds, Inc. has determined that the Board's Audit Committee does not have an “audit committee financial expert” as the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined that term. After carefully considering all of the factors involved in the definition of “audit committee financial expert,” the Board determined that none of the members of the Audit Committee met all five qualifications in the definition, although each of the members of the Audit Committee met some of the qualifications. The Board also determined that because of the collective general financial expertise of the Audit Committee members, as well as the types of funds in Homestead Funds, Inc. and the nature of the accounting and valuation issues they have presented, it did not appear that the Audit Committee as a whole lacked any necessary skill to fulfill the functions of an Audit Committee.
